Position of Hands for Multiplication.

Noting the first figure of the multiplier, place one finger of the right hand on the proper key and then, keeping the eyes on paper, without even glancing at the machine, strike each succeeding key, as explained in the rule and diagram.

After a little practice one can try the two-finger method of multiplying, in which the position of the finger is the same as for division. (See page 9.)
